Tasty Tuesday: Confess, Quinoa, April Menu

Well I have to fess up.

I screwed up Easter lunch.

I woke up at 6:30 AM on Easter Sunday to whip it all up.  Why?  So that when we got home from church, around 11, we could go ahead and devour our meal.

The meal:  ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, deviled eggs, parker house rolls, cheesecake.

I decided I would do what my Mammaw used to do.  I'd leave it in the oven on a very low temp so it would be warm when we got home.

Oh maybe it was too high of a temp.

Oh maybe I failed to remember how she left the oven door ajar.

Oh no.

The ham....was 50/50 - 50% great  50% jerky.

The mashed potatoes.....were baked mashed potatoes.

The beans were safe.

The eggs sat in the fridge away from harm.

The rolls were great.

The cheesecake was perfect.  

Ya'll I love some ham and mashed potatoes.  I just don't like them jerky-fied and I hate my mashed potatoes baked!

Today, I'm sharing a Pinterest recipe that rocked.  I made this a couple weeks ago (no burning or over baking here).  I don't want to be like, ooohhh this is so healthy....but its not the worst possible casserole you could make.  It actually has a really good flavor.  We enjoyed it immensely!
